It is designed to slither in without your notice, and when it overcomes that hurdle, it immediately starts encrypting personal files.

Trojan.Xwo
Trojan.Xwo is a silent piece of malware that can be dropped onto the computer without any notice to check for certain information and transmit it to a remote server silently.

PackTrackPlus
If you do not want to be flooded with ads whenever you browse the web, PackTrackPlus is not an extension we would recommend installing.

Dharma Ransomware (.bkpx extension)
Dharma Ransomware (.bkpx extension) is an infection that encrypts files. That means that it is capable of employing an encryption algorithm to change the data of the files. When that is done, the files can be read only using a decryptor, and, of course, it is not something that victims are provided with. The goal behind this kind of an attack is to make victims pay money in order to get their files decrypted. If there were any guarantees that files would be decrypted, maybe we could discuss ransoms and payments, but there are no guarantees, and it is very unlikely that the attackers would spend their time helping victims. ...
MongoLock Ransomware
If you think that cyber criminals do not care about your MongoDB database, think again. MongoLock Ransomware is an infection that was created for the sole purpose of wiping MongoDB databases and making their owners suffer. Even though the attackers make it seem as if there is a solution to the problem, the reality is a little bit different. According to the attackers, the data stored on the database has been secretly downloaded and backed up on a remote server, and now you have to pay money to get it all back. The reality, according to our research team, is that your database has been wiped, and there is no proof that any of the data has been backed up. ...
